Everything You Need to Know About $PATH in Bash

Very helpful!

Thank you for the explanation on this, I failed to fully grasp $PATH until your video.

Finally a Linux tutorial where I can actually understand the speaker ! Thank you for this!!! 😉

Thanks a lot. That was really helpful.

This was a BRILLIANT tutorial, thank you so much for doing this! 😀

HI, in the end of your video i tried to open the .bash_profile files and they were different, and hard coding the path didn't work, maybe the structure got updated ?

Nicely done!

how to remove path

you are sooo funny with that accent, really. I laughed

I tried the command subversion trick earlier in the video with both my virtual (Ubuntu) and my main (Centos 7.0) machines.

I changed the $PATH variable on the command line by placing /root in the front. When echo-ing $PATH, the /root directory does in fact appear first. Then, I created a script called clear that just echoes a short line. It didn't work; the screen simply cleared as normal. Then I tried changing the .bash_profile in my Centos 7.0 machine and did the same thing. The clear command just cleared the screen as usual.

What is happening?

i didn't get anything about this . i need help

Thank you very much…

There's no ~/.bash_profile in my ubuntu 18.04. But there is a ~/.profile
here it is:
*****@*******:~$ cat .profile
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

I understand that "sudo" is Super User Do [du], but I just can't abide it being pronounced like "sue-doo", rather than like "pseudo." It just sounds stupid.

But then I'm easily annoyed.

Thank you!

I wanted to add to the PATH for all users, but when I looked in etc/profile there is no usage of PATH at all. Where could it be set instead?

Thanks! Finally a video where someone speaks english, not bash!

been working with Linux servers for a long while now, never got to understand what PATH is for, thanks for your tutorial now i understand its importance!

Who is seeing "Hi my name is josh and blah blah " udemy add. I watch this every time !!!!!!!

While messing with linux and learning stuff, I've been running a set of automatic youtube downlaod scripts to archive interesting and useful channels that I'd like to have for the future. You made the cut, but this video broke the file management, haha. "du -h" on my archive drive makes this one split into 17 different files called:
everything you need to know about
everything you need to know about /usr
everything you need to know about /usr/local
everything you need to know about /usr/local/sbin:
everything you need to know about /usr/local/sbin:/usr
and this keeps going until
everything you need to know about /usr/local/sbun:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr
